Loved every second of being there. Went on a half day trip (flying back to Australia that afternoon from ICN) which included a tour of the DMZ with a relatively new tour company. When arriving at the DMZ the amount of adrenaline flowing through was incredible, seeing all the military and US troops. After passport checks we went into a... More

Good: I'm a history and war buff so this is a dream come true for me. Visiting the JSA (joint security area) and seeing the soldiers from both sides come face to face is just priceless. Not forgetting the 'blue house' where you can technically cross into North Korea. Bad: You need to send in your details a week before... More

Take the USO tour that goes to Panmunjom, as close as most of us will get to now to North Korea (technically, it is 1/2 N.K.) The tour can be hokey and focus a little too much on historical atrosities, but it's still fun, educational and eye-opening. And you can say you were in N.K. More

It was great to be able to get so close to North Korea, see over the border and hear about the history and struggles that have taken place here. It's a sad history and unfortunate there is so much tension. The information you are given paints a less aggressive picture than you would imagine and left me with a sense... More

This is the one trip that you should not miss out on when you're in Seoul. Our tour Guide was this wonderful Korean lady who spoke fluent english. There were 8 of us on the bus. She made us all feel very comfortable. We visited this park where there were memorials to korean soldiers & the war correspondents that were... More

I booked a combined tour that included the Dorasan railway station, 3rd infiltration tunnel, Dora observatory and the Joint Security Area. Before arriving, I had read on the history of the Korean War and its legacy 60 years on but I have to admit that nothing really prepares you for how incredibly strange a part of the world this really...

I booked my DMZ tour through a different travel agency but since this is the only DMZ tour review on tripadvisor I'm posting my review here. Tour group: Panmunjom Travel Center (PTC), aka DMZ Tour. Website: http://www.koreadmztour.com I booked my trip the DMZ a week before I traveled to Seoul, you have to provide your passport number, nationality plus your... More

We signed up for the DMZ tour along with the Panmunjom tour. As you are aware, we provided our passports, as is required, the day prior to the tour. I think the other reviewers do a great job explaining the tour and it is a must see. What they didn't experience is what I want to make you aware of... More

This is the most interesting place, this is where the meetings are held between the North and the South. If you go on the right tour they will let you into the room which is half in the North and half in the South. What a great experience this was. If you are in Korea make a point to try... More
